But the minkee is the kind with the dimples on it, and the top is quite geometric (pinwheels), and I'm thinking I might be better off to do the quilting myself with my Janome 6600, and do a very simple stitch in the ditch so as not to distract from the design of the front. And I don't know how the dimples of the minkee will look when long arm quilted. And then, of course, I don't know the abilities of the long arm quilter, and so I'm a little leary. She said she hasn't quilted with Minkee before, but will do a sample before she tackles mine. Any comments? C9P
